The Scrap Metal Cleaver is a home-made cleaver welded from scrap steel. It is a one-handed weapon that trains the Axe skill. It works as a butchering tool as well as a weapon.
As a weapon it is weak for its weight. It hits softer than a factory Meat Cleaver and weighs twice as much. Its real use is in the kitchen and at a carcass. It is never found as loot and comes only from welding. The Lumberjack is the best occupation for axes. It starts with the most Axe skill. The Firefighter also starts with some Axe skill.
Combat
The Scrap Metal Cleaver swings at base speed and reaches about one tile. Its hits are light, so an ordinary zombie takes several swings to drop. The crit chance starts at 10 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage four times. Crits are too rare to carry a fight.
One hand stays free while it is equipped. The Axe skill raises its damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. Compared with the Meat Cleaver, it is slower, heavier and weaker in every way. The Hand Axe hits far harder for the same weight. The Scrap Metal Cleaver suits a lone zombie at close range when nothing better is at hand.
Uses
The Scrap Metal Cleaver kills and butchers animals. It cuts up chicken and turkey and halves fish fillets. It slices bread, ham, salami, pizza and other food. It can carve wood into handles, sticks, stakes and planks. At a furnace it smelts into four Iron Chunks, or into four Steel Chunks at an Advanced Furnace.

Used in Crafting
Any recipe that asks for a smeltableironlarge accepts it as the tool, such as Smelt Iron From Large Item, Smelt Steel From Large Iron Item and Smelt Large Iron Item.
Repair
The Scrap Metal Cleaver has 10 condition. Each hit has a 1 in 10 chance of taking a point off, so it wears out quickly in fights. The Axe and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. A dull blade can be sharpened with a whetstone, on a Grindstone, or poorly with a file. Once it is worn out, the furnace turns it back into metal.
Notes
- The Make Scrap Metal Cleaver recipe needs Welding 4 and makes this cleaver or the Scrap Metal Cleaver-Axe.
- A short shaft, a Broken Iron Pipe or a Steel Rod Half, gives this one-handed cleaver.
- A full Steel Rod or Iron Pipe gives the two-handed Scrap Metal Cleaver-Axe instead.
- The other parts are a small Steel Sheet, a Rag or strips, and one Nuts and Bolts.
- The recipe also needs six uses of a Welding Torch, a welding mask, a file, a wrench, a metal drill and metal snips or a saw.
- Reading the cleaver in the crafting menu can teach the Meat Cleaver Blade forging recipe.
